Hi,

Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!

By the information you have giveit is difficult to say what exactly it is caused by, as you have already undergone couple of CAT scans.
Even the pulled muscle can be a cause of your
pain and swelling. However, consultation with your Urologist
as already scheduled can help clarify things.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have have any clarifications.
